The DM will do a lot of talking, but if he\u2019s not rolling the dice then what he\u2019s saying is probably not important.<\/a><\/p>\n

We have a running joke in our current D&D campaign that elves are predisposed to fantasy ADHD, or ‘elfism’ as we call it. This because I play elves almost exclusively, and am almost always zoned out for the most important information. This means when my little guy<\/a> inevitably goes ‘What are we doing?
